Most Amish horses I see around our area are thin. You can count their ribs, yet they are made to trot miles day after day. To me and many agree, that the Amish do not treat all their animals that well.
@@skipruse7209 I live btw Jamesport and Osceola. While puppy mills are and have quickly become a thing of the past I have yet to see a malnourished horse. I also used to train thoroughbreds. The majority of horses used for their buggies are standarbreds and thoroughbreds. Also, an fyi if a horse is older they always lose muscle mass hence looking skinny.
DachshundsRule Not to take away from the 4 legged horses, I have seen and used them in the fields as a young kid growing up in central Louisiana. But the iron horses sure sped up the opening of the west and became a major transportation system well used today.
@@billmorris2613 Yeah, more's the pity. We still have ranches that use horses, but I'm grateful I have transportation today that is fast, AND air-conditioned! LOL, I miss my horses but I recognize that the actual need for them is far lower than it used to be.
San Francisco , Chicago, and New York all had street cars that were pulled with 1 or 2 horses - full of people. I used to live in an Amish community in Ohio in the '70's, and every year went to the horse pulls on July 4th. Amazing strength!
I found interesting. When I was a girl this house moved down a high way in town. My dad wanted to ser the house moving it is .something to see. Thanks you sharing. With a team of horses
My grandfather used to use two teams of 16 horses each for draught work. One team for 6 hrs in the morning, the other for 6 hrs in the afternoon. It took a lot of manpower to look after and prepare that many horses. He stopped using them just after WW2, when he was able to purchase his first tractor.
I wish I could find some Amish workers to help me with fixing my home! They do the best work n are honest proud men. Since my husband died, My house is leaking water really bad and its going to fall in on me! I have no one to help me and I have a lil money saved back! I love Amish ppl...I'm in N Ga mtns!
When I was a Lil kid I was in that house a time or 2 but i don't really remember what it looked like. I only remember the back entrance & that's about it.
Thays pretty awesome, the wheel is probably one of the simplest invention that hasn't had to be redesigned or up grading other the materials but the idea is timeless and can allow 8 horses to pull I dint know 5, 6 tons or more
I don’t know a lot about this, but forgive me if I think that the Amish seem to have an obsession with moving large buildings. I mean, these building moves are coming up on my TH-cam list almost every day Is it just me ?
It was an impressive achievement but what happened to the horses. At 18:53 there were trucks pulling the houses. Did they switch back after demonstrating the horses really could pull the house? Doesn't take away from the horses . . . just wondering!
Excellent horse control. Beautiful team of horses. I believe a bullock team would be more suited to this style of pulling - low speed, high torque. Horse teams prefer to move relatively quickly. Do Amish use bullock teams?
Awesome accomplishment but they did not show how the houses were put on the low platform trailer. The houses must have been lifted equably with some hydraulic lifting jack and then the low platform trailer drove underneath the house?
I agree,,,,,, the title suggested that the horses were pulling , I thought to its destination. I guess I was fooled :) But it was awesome seeing those powerful horses tugging and tugging and finally moving that house!!
Hi there! We're Cheddar News and we'd love to make a video using this footage. It'd be posted on social media to all of our followers and we would credit you for everything. Let us know! Thanks!
My biggest issue is, I've moved houses in 3 states and always had to be LATE at night so I would impede traffic with police escorts front and back. Also surprised they didn't have any low power telephone lines to deal with. The cost of moving the long enough to get a single story house under has caused me to cut roofs off.
Spoiler Alert: The horses pull the house for only about a city block, that’s it. And that’s after being given a nudge from behind by one of the huge tow trucks!
As i watch this Video, i am going through some old Pictures of the Farm, and seeing my Great Grandfather's Plow Horses ( White Plow Horses ), i think, what a Coencidence!!! God sees and hears all things, all things work together for good, through Christ who Strengthens me.... Amen!
What was the point of the team of horses pulling the house a very short distance? Looked like just to the other end of the parking lot. Some narration or written captions explaining what was going on would have been nice. Only at the end was it made known this was the start of a museum.
Amazing team you have there. Although I am not a fan of the style of checkrein you are using and how they are tied together by the bit. Whatever happened to hitching them together by the collar? Amazing to see how strong they are.
Don't know this for a fact, but it would seem that the largest amount of heavy pulling would need to come from lower down than the collar. Trying to raise the center of power (the pipe running back to the house frame that runs between the horses) would waste energy due to the angle. Not sure if I said that right, but that's my theory anyway.
M4rv310u5 M4rv31, They are not tied together by the bit. The outside horses are kept from biting at the ones in the center by spacing bars. The head is kept to its side of the bar by straps attached to each side of the bit, as long as the horse keeps its head within the space allocated, no pressure is on the bit. His neighbor appreciates not being molested. The other end of the spacing bar is attached to the inside horse's collar, not its mouth. I just watched another video which showed the same linkage, must be common there, but I noticed the reins only go to the two center horses, thus when the center horses turn the inside and outside horses heads are turned as well. This seems to make driving much easier as they only have two sets of reins to deal with.
I know Amish that use two reins on a 4 abreast hitch harrowing. The off and the wheel horse one rein to each horses outside. Watched him harrow like that many a time. His neighbor use three horses in a unicorn hitch. One out front with two behind and only has reins to the lead horse. My grandfather ran a five team hitch unicorn style with no reins. Old Prince listened the rest followed.
I guess the Belgins moving the house a few feet were for show! I was here to see the horses pull the house! I guess those big hulking trucks that done the real work don't get any credit! Glad they saved the houses.
I think it was just to show what a good team of horses can do and the strength of them if they need to use it. Of course a machine can move alot of weight but when you put a living breathing thing in front of an immense amount of weight and it can move it is pretty impressive.
first couple minutes especially with the truck coming off the trailer was annoying because the video was sped up. This caused everyone to get annoying alvin and the chipmunk voices.
pulling a truck that is pulling a house what is wrong with this picture where is the brake line to the trailer where are the good old saftey vest must have those
Am i the only one that thinks its ridiculous that by law they have to put oversized and wide load banners on a load of this size? I don't think a two story house moving down the road with a gang of people in toe needs help being any more visible.
And that house was siting next to a air conditiond house we dont have amish hear in mass i always wanted to go see amish town but think it would be rude to go see them as an atraction
Yeah when? I'm from the Yakama Reservation my family goes all the way back to before Washington and Oregon was simply Indian Territory. Union Gap is just down the road.
The hotel was red light house gave the patrons more action for the cost was only reason they stayed open. That's when I first meet Jeannie the Jehovah Witness Stripper.
Saartje de Hond So how do you explain it then? Did you notice the beam work underneath? The only thing that concerned me was the chimney on the second house. It's hard to move brick without it coming apart.
Pah, those horses couldn't manage to start- pull it, I reckon the truck behind the house gave them a nudge! And that's nearly 24 minutes of my life I'll never get back! Good ad for Yoders Kitchen tho!
@ 12:19 r seen, the 8 horses, & @ 12:29 start their journey, without the house, but @ 18:07t they successfully start pulling the house for a short distance.
There are different Amish communities and each determines what's acceptable or not for the local situation. The Amish in this video are Mennonites, who accept more technology than other communities.
The only apply their belief on Their Property. How would you like me to tell you what you could or couldn't do on your property. Did they ask you to co-sign their loan. Or did somebody die and make you God?
Thank you. Most Amish and Mennonite are cruel to their animals 😢. I don't know why they had to force these Belgians into pulling this huge house...even if only a few feet...it still outs a lot of strain on them.
How can those horses even take a step with all that leather wrapped around their legs? Tell the horses to go, then you stop them, then they go , then you stop them, then those look like trucks, not horses.... How far did those horses actually haul the house?
I don’t like the fact to make those horses do a job that can be done by truck’s!! We are not in the 1870’s anymore!! Of course the horses do already lots of hard job like plowing fields et plenty of other things.. but less hard on them!! I love animals and don’t like to see them treated like there were not another way!!
Go back down to Mommy's basement. Obviously horses pulling something, anything is too much for you to stomach. You'd have a fit if you saw dogs pulling a sled!
Hey Kelly, how do you think they did it before steam or fuel engines did the work? These aren't the typical horses that are rode, for the most part, they are large breed horses like the Clydesdales that they use for Budweiser. Pulling that large Budweiser wagon is no walk in the park, it's heavy.
Check out the other video with 12 horses pulling 4 bottom plow. That's a gang of 4 plow blades. I've seen teams not too much bigger than that pulling a 10 bottom plow.
These animals get excited to pull! They are huge and need to work to keep their strength and muscle tone. Its not abuse to do what they are built for and love doing.

Horses built this country...thank you for remembering them.

I have read a lot of books about the Amish people, and I still have a few now , great people well organized. I is great to see them on vedios.
This is why we refer to power/energy as HORSEPOWER. have seen this repeatedly, enjoy it every time
I like that they boarded up the windows to give it stability! Smart!
Great job on getting the momentum to move the house. I say extra oats for the 4 teams

Did you find someone
what I enjoyed was the teamster horse are so very well trained
8:06 - Glimpse of the horses
12:21 - Brief horse encounter
14:12 - Actual part where the 8 horse hitch pulls the house
Thank you, I was losing myi d at 12 minutes with no fucking horses
Thank you so much !
Getting it started on the blacktop was the real accomplishment!
BRAVO!!! Wonderful, Wonderful, Wonderful! What A Sight!!!
but but but didnt look like they pulled homes all the way just a short while!!!!
@@55tumbler McGuiver could snicker at the strength of horses, but I, never!
Such beautiful Belgian work horses, and how they love to pull a load, whether in the field or otherwise!
While watching at the start i was thinking this plaice looks familiar , then i remembered i had lunch there in 2018. Arthur, Il. Great restaurant.
real good video of trucks pulling houses.
When I was a Lil kid I was in that house a time or 2 but i don't really remember what it looked like. I only remember the back entrance & that's about it.
Thays pretty awesome, the wheel is probably one of the simplest invention that hasn't had to be redesigned or up grading other the materials but the idea is timeless and can allow 8 horses to pull I dint know 5, 6 tons or more
Another exciting day at the races.
The demo starts at ca 12:00, the pulling at ca. 18:00. It's very brief but wonderful to see. LPoor traction for the horses' hooves on the asphalt.
This was amazing!
If walls could talk, those two storey houses could tell quite a story. Even about their ten year storage.
I don’t know a lot about this, but forgive me if I think that the Amish seem to have an obsession with moving large buildings.
I mean, these building moves are coming up on my TH-cam list almost every day
Is it just me ?
At time frame 20:09, I almost spit my coffee out, cracked me up watching that guy run to the car and get in.
I wounder how.kuch horsepower that is wit all those horses.
It was an impressive achievement but what happened to the horses. At 18:53 there were trucks pulling the houses. Did they switch back after demonstrating the horses really could pull the house? Doesn't take away from the horses . . . just wondering!

Grandma Maria and
They still pulled it didn't they if only for 10'
i'm sure that 40' meant alot to the Amish that were there.....
Those 8 horses still pulled the house didn't they even if only 10' or so.

At least the horses didn't make the noise LOL
I would love to eat at Yoder`s Kitchen.
The old ford with jin pole is a nice old truck
Impressive!
Two “story “house?
No one knows that it should be “two storey”?
It’s been 5 years wrong now. Anyway
God bless Amish!
Amazing
I need to move my shed 80 feet.
why didn't they remove the vehicles.
Need about 8 more horsepower
so the horse pull was symbolic? it seems like the machines did probably 99.9% of the pulling, right? did i miss something?
Y did they have all the trucks when they hade the teams or y did they have the teems when they had the truck they need about 10 more horses

thats awesome :)
Now that’s horsepower
Truck in the back...I was wondering how they planned to stop.
You can see that board in the back sticking out... They gave it a push to get it started
What breed of horses are those?
at 23:41 says they are Belgian plow horses
pulling a truck that is pulling a house what is wrong with this picture where is the brake line to the trailer where are the good old saftey vest must have those
I was wondering "How are they going to stop it?" until I noticed the tow truck following along behind.
Am i the only one that thinks its ridiculous that by law they have to put oversized and wide load banners on a load of this size? I don't think a two story house moving down the road with a gang of people in toe needs help being any more visible.
These are Mennonites, a more modern branch of the Amish.

ZZZZZZZZZ The whole town of Union Gap WA was moved by horse some six miles and the hotels even stayed open during the transit.
when was this? I have never heard this happened - I'm from Yakima - '67 EV grad - my Dad farmed in Wapato many years before like 1955. . .

Whole house made of wood . How is this possible the wood not rotten away since 1800 ?
Many houses in Austria are made of wood and a LOT older. And better built. There's no way you can move them like this.
bulls... I seen many old hose looks too weak to even lift and move . Some of them are made back in the 30,s- 40,s
thomas tarter In Austria? Some are hundreds of years old.

That basically a flu in second house a flu pixie line all is good as new no big deal
We got like 30 sec of horse pull. Some people should not be allowed to make youtube vids.

Lorna Perry I'm guessing that 24 minutes wasn't really worth much anyway. Probably would have spent it watching kittens slap each other.
No ding dong. The horses don't the idea of leaning on the collars.
pmarie2003 couldnt understand a word of that, ding dong
Fun fact most Amish sect work off the farm
@ 12:19 r seen, the 8 horses, & @ 12:29 start their journey, without the house, but @ 18:07t they successfully start pulling the house for a short distance.
Isn't the wheel technology? Who picked the cutoff date of technology for the Amish? Why not stone and flint tools?
There are different Amish communities and each determines what's acceptable or not for the local situation. The Amish in this video are Mennonites, who accept more technology than other communities.
